"As an applied technology company at the forefront of the firearms industry, we at TrackingPoint need to consistently push ourselves to innovate above and beyond even our own expectations," said TrackingPoint CEO Jason Schauble. "Our 'Super Gun" project will push the boundaries of perception in the firearms and shooting communities. In the process we hope to find inspiration for a whole new generation of tech applications."

It's possible, and perhaps even likely, that the TrackingPoint .50 BMG PGR base gun will be a McMillan TAC-50/Mk-15 Tactical Rifle (NSN: 1005015257716) bolt-action .50 BMG rifle (or a modified version of it), but it's certainly conceivable that McMillan and TrackingPoint could have a new rifle in the works. It would be interesting to see if McMillan is capable of developing a 10-round semi-auto .50 BMG that's accurate enough to become the base gun for the project, but that's probably a stretch.

Regardless, the final product will no-doubt be pretty expensive, and run somewhere above $25,000 per unit, possibly even into the $30,000 to $40,000 range.

Defense Review has already deemd TrackingPoint's XactSystem tech a tactical game-changer, so a .50 BMG PGR should really change the game, particulary if it's combined with PNW Arms .50 BMG precision rifle ammo. PNW Arms is currently making some of the most interesting and impressive tactical ammunition DR's ever seen, including both their Super Sniper Ammunition (SSA) and Multi-Environment Ammunition (MEA). PNW's ammo looks to be every bit as game-changing as the TrackingPoint tech.

They should make a bullpup weapon in 375 Cheytac. And since they are working with Remington, they should combine the electronic trigger with the electronic primers from Remingtons EtronX system, so the bullpup could have a decent trigger pull for manual shots.
